The Relic: First Guardian Launches September 25 on Xbox Series and PC

The dark fantasy Soulslike action RPG The Relic: First Guardian has locked in concrete release dates, arriving on the Xbox Series consoles and PC via the Microsoft Store on September 25, followed by a launch for the Switch 2 on October 9.

Players stepping into the game encounter a world plunged into darkness following the destruction of the Great Relic. According to the development roadmap, the core gameplay loop focuses on intense, action-oriented combat typical of the Soulslike genre, requiring precise timing, stamina management, and tactical mastery against formidable adversaries.

Platform Rollout Schedule

The staggered release schedule begins on September 25 with the simultaneous drop for Xbox Series X and S systems and PC players using the Microsoft Store. A few weeks later, on October 9, the title expands to Nintendo’s successor platform, the Switch 2. This multi-platform strategy brings the dark fantasy adventure to distinct hardware ecosystems within a narrow two-week window.

Publishing details and platform specifics have emerged directly from recent publisher schedules, outlining how the studio plans to deliver the action RPG experience across both traditional high-end consoles and newer hardware.
